If you have access to a Windows computer, gdal_translate (part of fw
tools, fwtools.maptools.org/) should do the job. You could convert it
to an intermediate format, e.g Erdas img, then import it into GRASS.
ecw is a good format, or at least I like their politics, but it's not
handy to use on platforms other than Windows.
